Flew in on June 19, stayed a week. Got great deal on rental car with Alamo. Very nice FBO and nice people. Fuel was extremely high, but I guess this has become a fact of flying. If landing to the north, very easy to get to FBO. Drive to seaside was not all that bad. Will do it again.

We flew to KECP yesterday and was impressed with the FBO. I had read several negative comments on this board, so I did my research before flying out. The staff @ Sheltair were very professional and kind. We tied down for a few hours free of charge, were given a nice, clean crew car to go eat lunch, and we purchased fuel to top off the tanks. We were in a 182 but were treated the same as a business jet. The only downside is that we did have to taxi after landing and when leaving all 10,000' of the runway. I think that added .5 on the hobbs.

I made my 3rd trip into KECP this weekend. As always, great service and reasonable prices. Budget always drops my car off for an easy pickup. No complaints at all! Controllers are nice. Just an all-around great experience!

Have been twice to Sheltair at KECP. Very nice, new FBO. Helpful and friendly staff. First time used a courtesy car to drive to Panama City for dinner - 2 hour limit made it a bit rushed however. Second time had prearranged a Hertz rental car. Great convenience as I just gave them my #1 Gold member number and tail number. They had the car waiting for me on the ramp, engine running with the AC cool upon my arrival which was an awesome perk. I just transferred my luggage and drove off! $60 for the day included all fees and taxes. This was a relatively good deal considering a shuttle to the beach is at least $40 each way. Two things I don't like: (1) that this new airport is so far from the beach (about a 30 min drive), and (2) the FBO is all the way on the approach end of rwy 34. If you need to depart rwy 16 be ready for a 10,000 foot taxi!

I flew in there and departed on 8/5. Check your invoice. They charged me for 20 gallons more fuel than I took. They reversed the charges but never sent me a revised invoice or any notification that this had occurred until I called them.
I called before I flew there and was told that they would give me a break on the overnight charge of $12. No such luck. Lesson learned, get the person's name who promises you discounts and double check your invoices.
All of that aside, everyone there was very nice. Next time I'll fly to Destin which seems to be more GA friendly.

Flew in general aviation and picked up a Hertz rental car from the counter at Sheltair. I asked for the smallest & cheapest rental car and have just opened my CC bill to discover a charge of $ 207.51 for a one day rental. Be VERY CAUTIOUS of Hertz at this location. Corporate inquiry has rental agreement notation that I asked for and authorized a $ 99.00 upgrade. This is absolute BUNK. Hertz reversed charges, but will be moved to my "not to be trusted" list. Otherwise, the FBO was great

Drove down to drop off a friend at the airline terminal and visited with Sheltair. Very nice facility. Asked about just flying in next time to pick up my friend and was told there is a $35.00 charge unless I made a purchase, but crew cars are available to drop off or pick up passenger at airline terminal. Fee is waved and .50 discount on gas with top-off, but I didn't check to see what a top-off consisted of.

Flew in to ECP on 7/19/2011 and departed the 7/24/2011. Gps doesn't pick it up yet.Flight following from Tyndall vectored us in at 40 miles out.Sheltair has a great staff and a very nice new fbo.We were charged 12.00 per night for tie down. they gave us a discount of .50cents per gallon for topping off fuel.The tower and ground control,arriving and departing were really great to deal with.

I found Sheltair to be very friendly and helpfull. Brought my rental car out to the plane and helped unload. The FBO is still under construction. $12.00 overnight tiedown. PFN VORTAC has been decomissioned.

The new airport is not very GA friendly...The old facility was certainly far more oriented toward the GA community and its business.

Per telecons today with Sheltair and the airport admin office, there is no "landing fee," at least not now. Tiedown for a single-engine pistons is $12/night with none waived for buying gas, but there is 50 cents off per gallon for all "top-offs." I also found that car rentals are cheaper if picked up at the terminal rather than at Sheltair, but the FBO will provide a shuttle at no cost.

$48.99 for a passenger pick up at Sheltair? The aircraft never shut down and as I was walking out to the waiting aircraft the CSR called the lineman to tell me that there was a landing fee. I figured I'd go back and they'd tell me there was a $20 fee or something like that, but almost $50 just to walk through and out to an aircraft that never shut down? I asked the girl to have the manager give me a call but I guess he's a little too busy to care about it.

Make sure your GPS is up to date or at least input the Lat/Long for navigation to this airport. The FBO, Sheltair, was friendly and efficient. Phone ahead to confirm a tie-down space; it's limited.

FBO (Sheltair) under construction as of 10/31/10; however, temporary FBO is a very nice triple-wide and the service is excellent. Very nice and professional ground crew and FBO personnel. Will be a very nice FBO when completed.
